The free Chinese dictionary.
Delightfully simple - and open-source.
Does all the right things - and only those. A dictionary that gets out of the way so you can concentrate on the language.
If you don't know how to type a Hanzi, draw it! Pinyin and English search are also there, of course.
Over 100 thousand entries from the community-edited CC-CEDICT dictionary.
All the content in Zydeo is the work of volunteers. Zydeo is my way of giving back to the community.
No more counting strokes and looking up radicals. Zydeo recognizes the characters that you draw on screen.
Search Chinese Characters
Look up Chinese words by drawing, pasting or typing Hanzi in the search box.
Find which headwords list an English word as a translation. The English word is highlighted in each entry.
Search Pinyin
Type Pinyin into the search box if you know the pronunciation. You are free to specify or omit tone, and you don't need to use spaces.
Right-click a result to copy Hanzi, Pinyin or English to the Clipboard.
